Is'iiW Yoiik, April 1. A cablegram
from Valparaiso says Minister Fgiui yes
terday presented lo tho Chilian
foreign ollice a claim on behalf of the
liquidators of tho American house of
Aslob. The claim amounts to nearly
$1,000,0(10 in silver and also interest.
Over twenty years ago one Gaina, a Bra
zilian, obtained rights from the Bolivian
government for guano deposits at Mex
illones. Alsop advanced Gaina large
sums of money, but a disagreement
arose between them as to the guano de
posits. The Bolivian congress paused a
law granting Alsop a piece of land of a
certain size fur every mine found in Hie
Bolivian cu.ist district, Al'ler the war
between Chili and Bolivia in lssi), this
concession was disallowed by the Chil
ians. Bolivia had also agreed to allow
Aslop a percentage on customs duties al
Arica. This was abo a subject of disa
greement with Chili al'ler the war.
Aslop'B claim Iiiib been in statu quo ever
since. Huccessive American ininisleis
havo talked over thesubj 'ct with the
Chilian government, bill with no result,.
It is said a settlement with Halniaceda
bad nearly been alluded by I'.gan when
the revolution broke out. The agree
ment between Chili, Peru and Bolivia
provides that if, in lSf3, the province n(
Tacna should vote to remain as a part of

took place before Judge liaker yesterday
when lr. WischnewiUky, of New York,
took the witness stand to repel the
charges of cruelly made by his wife, a
daughter of the late Representative
"Pigiron" Kelley. It has been said in
I'otul thai during the quarrel the wife
called her husband a Russian Jew. "See
bete," suddenly broke out the witness,
snatching up (ine of his wife's loiters
which had been oll'ered in evidence, "see
how she writes to her Russian Jew. She
says she loved the ground his feet tread,
and that she felt toward him as a Chris
tian to bis God. There," and the doctor
shook the paper triumphantly when bis
wife hid her face in her hands and col
ored deeply. Hie witness stopped a
moment, and in an impressive tone con
tinued : "Minium is buried, so far as I
am concerned. She is dead to me. I
worked eleven hours a day for my ilear

pension attorney, formerly chief clerk of

borrrowed money from the bank to loan

London, Mar. 30. Ed Fox is visiting

aaitl. it 'was a point, which he and Bor-

nd that if Borrowe declined a duel he
should brand him as a coward. Milbank
and myself replied that as we were sec
onds to Borrowe the matter was in our
hands, and an arrangement of the dilii
culty would necessarily be on lines
which were admitted by men of honor.
We declared that a meeting could not
take place, and we considered the letter
of ours as conclusive and linal It left
absolutely no excuse for further corres
pondence. Drayton was personally
aware of the grounds on which this stand
was taken. Nevertheless, lie wrote to
us, and this letter is the one that is lost.
There is no reason for not including it is
the series which was published, except
the fact of its being mislaid, though it
contained nothing of moment and did not
alter the situation in the least. tt is
Bingular," continued Fox, "that in a
matter so susceptible of proof there should
be any question raised. General Wil
liams, who came over on business for the
Equitable Insurance Company, but who
was engaged as Borrowe's counsel while
in London, saw the written contract
which Mrs. Drayton gave to her husband,
agreeing to give'him a $5000 annuity and
to Bet aside a sum for the children and
household expenses out of her income of
f 10,000 a year.' What more could be
wanted in proof of what lias been as
serted about Drayton, since it was only
money that Drayton was after? The
greatest surprise is that Mrs. Drayton's
family, the Astors, did not Biipply it
rather than have such a scandal take
place."
"Is it true." was asked, "as Milbank
ami Borrowe have stated, that they were

Fox knit bis brows, was silent a mo

A LOOPHOLE IN THE LAW
Chinese Coming Into the Country as
British Subjects.
THE EXCLUSION ACT EASILY EVADED
Mongolians Take the Oath of Allegiance la
Canada and Come Across the Line
Without Hindrance.
Montbkai., Mar, 31. The recently
discovered loophole in the United States
Chinese exclusion law has already begun
to show its etlects in the arrival of Chi
nese from Western points to take out
papers as British citizens in the supe
rior court in order to go to the United
States as British BubjectB. Three Chi
nese who had taken the oath of
allegiance to the queen have gone to
Boston from here. United States olticerB
on this side of the line tried to Btop them,
but had to let them through when
paerH of citizenship were exhibited. Ab
the treaty between Great Britian and the
United States provides the latter shall
admit within its borders, with the right
of residence, any British subject, it is
not apparent that anything can now Is
done to stop the Chinese who wiBh to go
to the United States as British subjects.
A prominent United States treasury
official now in the city said there was
nothing to prevent tho United States
from being flooded with "-British" Chi
nese by tens of thousands before some
plan could he adopted to put a stop to it.
The Canadians also view the situation
with alarm. The trade and labor
council sent to Ottawa delegates who saw
the cabinet ministers, and a bill will
come in the house this week asking that
the head tax on Chinese be increased
from ifoO to if 100 each, and that further
restrictions be put on vessels carrying
them. The bill will lie framed so that
only one Chinese shall be carried to
every 100 tons.

man rang the door bell at the residence
of Herbert O. Fitch, No. 21) Jennings
avenue, aliout 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and Mrs. Fitch came to the door.
The man grabbed her by the hand and
exclaimed: "Why Jennie!" "Why
Frank, is that you 1" returned Mrs. Fitch,
with a pleased expression. "Oh, you
know me, Jennie?' Well, yon will be
sure now." Then dropping her hand,
the man pulled a revolver ani fired, the
bullet passing clear throu h Mrs. Fitch's
breast and coining out at the back. The
wounded woman screamed and turned to
run, when he fired three more shots at
her, all three taking effect in her back.
and she fell to the floor. When the
neighbors rushed in they found the
fellow coolly reloading his revolver.
Some one suggested that a doctor be sent
for, "There is no use," said he; "I
have done my work too completely for
that. I came here this morning from
Fort Wayne to kill her; that is all I
came for. If I had found her son any
where around I would have killed him
also." To the police he said he was
Frank R. Dniester, of Fort Wayne. Ind..
and gave his age as 20. When asked
why he had shot the woman, he said :

Au Opinion Expressed That th
United
States Will he Defeated.
N'kw York, Mnr. 31. The Sun this
morning has the following editorial:
"We have asked for the name of the
statesman who composed and directed
the arbitration treaty with England re
secting the questions that have been
raised in Behring sea, and we are not
surprised that no one has yet arisen to
answer the question. All our rights are
effectually given away by that party.
The tribunal arbitration ie so constructed
and the questions to be put before it are
bo expressed that it is just as certain now
that the whole case will finally be deter
mined in favor of Great Britain as it will
be after the decision is rendered. On
every several count the United States
will " be turned out of court, a defeatad
party. Nothing will remain to ns but the
mere Pribyloff Islands, whatever that
may be worth. Under such circum
stances, it is astonishing Uiat President
Harrison should have thought it neces
sary to send armed vessels to .Behring
Bca to keep poachers away. What is the
good of preserving the seals a few weeks
longer, more or less, when they are
bound to enter upon the process of rapid
extinction as scon as the tribunal shall
pronounce ita judgment The whole
case of the United States is given away
in advance by this treaty. The arbitra
tion tribunal is constituted as if for the
express purpose of deciding against ns.
Who is responsible for this? Is anybody
but Benjamin Harrison.

Toronto, Mar. 31. A special from
